  • Yes I’m calling it annoying. Don’t you just hate it that the flower is out of focus? And I did it on purpose – gotta try to break the rules sometimes!

  • Something incredible happened today! It rained!

  • I was really impressed with the dahlias last year so I planted some this year as well. They are late bloomers so the first flower opened today!

  • This is a back-dated post – we had a thunderstorm going around Föne from about 3pm to 9pm so I didn’t dare to keep my computer plugged in while it was going on (the storm was never really right on us though, we only got 3mm rain). And after I thought it was safe, I started…

  • Another scorcher of a day, it was 28°C in the shade by 11am. The best place to be on such a day is to sit in an airconditioned car, and the next best thing is to walk on a sea shore to let the sea breeze bring relief to the heat. So that is what…

  • I thought the white waterlily buds by the jetty would be in bloom now, but I found them all closed. In fact, all around the lake, all white waterlilies were closed. Very strange. So I did some research and found that white waterlilies close themselves at 5pm, not sure about the accuracy but apparently Carl von…
